This project aims to improve Australia's capacity to predict shoreline position with sea level rise, identify the role of vegetation in foreshore stabilisation and determine thresholds for shoreline retreat by quantifying the links between biological, geomorphological and sedimentary processes and shoreline position. Sea level rise and potential increases in storminess are predicted to lead to severe impacts and there is an immediate and critical need to understand and accurately predict the functioning, dynamics, and distribution of Australia's coastal zones. Expected outcomes of this interdisciplinary project include an integrated modelling framework crucial for planning and management of sea level rise responses in Australia.

该项目旨在提高澳大利亚预测海平面上升时海岸线位置的能力，确定植被在前滨稳定中的作用，并通过量化生物、地貌和沉积过程与海岸线位置之间的联系，确定海岸线后退的阈值。预计海平面上升和风暴的潜在增加将导致严重的影响，迫切需要了解和准确预测澳大利亚沿海地区的功能，动态和分布。这个跨学科项目的预期成果包括一个对于澳大利亚海平面上升应对措施的规划和管理至关重要的综合建模框架。
